Tennessee senior defensive lineman Matthew Butler has been awarded an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
“The NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship has the potential to continue to further my education,” Butler said in a UT press release. “We live in a world where education is paramount and knowledge is power. It’s good to shatter stereotypes and continue to strive toward my goals.
“Thank you to Tennessee and the NCAA for their consideration and recognition for this scholarship. I am thankful and honored.”
Butler joins previous University of Tennessee football student-athletes as recipients to earn the honor: Parker Henry (2018), Peyton Manning (1997), Tim Irwin (1980), Mike Mauck (1977), Tim Priest (1971) and Don Dembo (1971).
